With hundreds of locals gathering around the educational center's grounds, the wife of Prince William was dressed in a lovely Orla Kiely skirt dress as she greeted onlookers before heading inside to continue to help endorse the Oxford-based charity The Art Room.

With Kate being a patron of the organization, The Art Room is driven by "using art to help children with issues such as low self-esteem and Asperger's syndrome."

One of The Art Room's trustees, Pat Norman, said of getting the royal backing of Duchess Catherine, "It's very special that we have her patronage. The duchess brings us into the limelight in a way we probably could never have hoped for."

After finishing up at Rose Hill, the 30-year-old is set to make a second stop at Oxford Spires Academy School.
